After giving birth, a woman is granted a leave that lasts 56 k. days under normal conditions, or 70 k. days in the case of the birth of two or more children or complications during childbirth.
In general, a woman can take up to 126 days of leave in connection with pregnancy and childbirth. This is calculated as the sum of maternity leave and maternity leave.
A woman has the right to transfer part of the leave before childbirth to the period after childbirth, if there are no medical contraindications. However, the total duration of leave should not exceed 126 days (140 days in case of birth of two or more children or complications).
These leaves are given to women to ensure appropriate rest and recovery after pregnancy and childbirth, to ensure a normal physical and psychological state.

Child care leave can be granted before the child reaches three years of age. During the period of this leave, benefits may be provided in accordance with the legislation of Ukraine. This category may include, for example, childcare benefits or other types of social benefits.
This leave is intended to enable parents to participate in the care of a child during the first years of its life, which is an important aspect of social support for families with young children.
According to Ukrainian legislation, enterprises, institutions and organizations can provide one of the child's parents with partially paid leave and leave without salary to care for the child for a longer period of time, at the expense of their own funds.
In the case of granting leave to women in connection with pregnancy and childbirth, the employer is obliged to add annual basic and additional leave to her at the request of the woman. This rule applies regardless of how long a woman has worked at a given enterprise, institution or organization in the current working year.
This provision is aimed at ensuring the full use of women's leave rights during pregnancy and after childbirth, regardless of their duration at the workplace.

These vacations can be granted in full or in part during the period established by law and are issued by an order (order) of the employer.
